Would people please l2science?

A study like this is not based on data saying "everyone in a guild has a good time" it is based on a range of experiences and the conclusion they write about is the result of the aggregate of that data.

If you are in a guild with mature people and form long term connections it gives you the same benefit as RL friends. If you have shitty RL friends they can be a major source of stress but for most people they are not. Humans are social creatures and MOST are not optimally happy without socialising.

Don't join shitty "hardcore raider" guilds full of teenagers and emotional retards, who only stay together for progression and disintegrate if a raid goes really badly.
